Came here to post exactly this, and find you already took care of it!

I love stories like this. I wish I could somehow get back the games I wrote on my commodore 64 in the late 1980s. Venus Lander III (blatant rip-off of Lunar Lander, but after I put it on all the school’s C-64 floppy disks, and people were playing it all the time, I got in trouble), and my assorted text-adventure…

Zuckerberg only cares about money. He’d sell the country, and his own child, to neo-Nazis for enough $$.

Whatever his actual stature, we know from reputable sources that he’s “short” in other ways lol.

Awesome and clear explanation, thank you.

The Air Force has virtually no rotor-wing aircraft at all - and Chinooks are solely flown by the Army, I believe (or were), unless the Marines had some.

Also, if my memory serves, in red Dawn it was a Hind-A, with the faceted canopy. The helicopter in the picture above, slung under a Chinook, is Hind-D, with the double-bubble canopy.

I think part of the problem is that it takes 20 - 30 minutes to recharge right now, but that problem should get better as newer fast-charging battery tech gets commercialized. There are many companies working on fast-charging Li-Ion chemistries, solid-state batteries, etc, and it's almost certainly a matter of time…

Omg, Big Tex looks like the abominable snow-santa. That's a horrific face.

Well, the pre-order is only $100, so it's not exactly a huge commitment. 

Newer versions of Android have different profiles (“containers*”) for personal and for work. It doesn’t allow apps installed and running in the work profile to even pass intents to apps installed in the personal profile. And the mdm software my company uses only has permissions to wipe data in the “work” profile. They…

Oof. I really assumed that Musk was exaggerating with all the Blade Runner and “cybertruck” comments leading up to this.

The problem is that, “buying him out of the company” was done at a ridiculous valuation of his private shares. If SoftBank had not bailed him and the company out, his stake in the company would have been worth far less than that, perhaps a few hundred million total.

Oh, take your star.

Well, one can always hope, yes?

Because diehard conspiracy theorists and "UFOs are aliens" believers will believe any story about aliens or their tech. Oh well, at least the army seems to have gotten the (assuredly worthless) stuff for cheap.

They always do threaten exactly that, whenever states look at implementing legislation at the state level. And those threats are likely b.s.  - the hospital would have to shut itself down, auction off its assets, and fire all its employees. The most likely outcome would be that one of the larger hospital chains would…

This sort of situation could be prevented even short of single-payer nationalized healthcare (disclaimer: I’m in favor of that, but I see it as politically unlikely). We simply need to pass laws that REQUIRE every hospital that receives public funds - taxpayer monies - or that has an IRS tax exemption to offer every…

#Pedant warning!!

I came to post this, but you beat me to it. Take your star!
